"Mountain Sound" came out in 2012 as the second single from the international edition of My Head Is an Animal, the 2011 debut from Icelandic indie folk band Of Monsters and Men. Band members Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir, Ragnar Þórhallsson and Arnar Rósenkranz Hilmarsson wrote it, and it's a stomping, shout-along romp that barrels ahead like a bonfire party that got out of hand.
Jacquire King produced, Aron Arnarsson engineered and Craig Silvey mixed, and between them they kept the campfire warmth while giving it enough muscle for American radio. Critics took to it, and it got to 14 on Billboard's Hot Rock Songs chart and 9 on the Canadian rock chart.
